NatPost columnist Chris Selley comes out for the Toronto Star's coverage of Mayor Ford:
"In these pages last Wednesday, columnist Christie Blatchford objected to the Toronto Star very thorough coverage — other adjectives are available — of all things to do with the city’s constantly embattled mayor, Rob Ford. She dislikes the paper’s 'tactics': sending a reporter to Huntsville, Ont., where he has a cottage; “staking out his backyard at night”; and posting a video in which two people giggle as Mr. Ford exits a KFC location with a bucket of chicken.
To my mind, those tactics are in fact in the best tradition of a very ruthless brand of journalism that we don’t often see in Canada.
